This is a hidden gem just outside the city. You get all of the privacy but are minutes from the city center.

We loved the location and how comfortable the rooms were. The views around the property are great as well. The owners are a wonderful couple, great to chat with, and they’ve really put their heart into everything there. We would have loved to stay longer! The rooms and bathrooms are a great size and the breakfast was excellent!

− A portable fan in the room would be great.

Wonderful location, very comfy bed

9.0

Host was wonderful. I purchased some homemade schnapps - it was delicious! The bed was super comfy - I felt really safe considering I was alone. I also left an outfit in the wardrobe, and the owner was lovely and held it for me until I could collect. I also loved the very cold milk for my tea and coffee!

− I didn't dislike anything really... it was a very hot day, so I wonder if maybe a fan could have been provided? thats about it!
